Book Description
Excerpt from Letters Illustrative of the Reign of William III, Vol. 1 of 3: From 1696 to 1708; Addressed to the Duke of Shrewsbury At the period of the commencement of these letters, Mr. Vernon had not yet reached any very eminent station, and a minute account of his preceding life would prove of very little interest to the general reader, though a few words on the subject may not be unnecessary. James Vernon was the son of Francis Vernon, Esq. And Anne Smithes, and by the father's side was descended from an ancient family of Cheshire. His mother was the daughter of a respectable merchant of the city of London, and having obtained, at an early period, an appoint ment in the office of Secretary of State, he proceeded slowly, and apparently without acquiring any great distinction, till after the famous revolution of 1688.
